Project Description:
This is a continuous lifecycle management project to identify and construct all required Roofing System upgrades and improvements for County facilities that are currently maintained by Building Operations Services (BOS).

Justification & Alternatives:
The Office of the County Engineer (OCE) continues to experience the effects of previous years’ inflation regarding materials and labor for construction projects. Although inflation for costs of materials and labor is expected to increase at historical averages in FY2026, the increases from previous years are expected to remain.
Not funding this program would lead to an even greater backlog of deferred maintenance to perform later and, in some cases, could create hazards to life and safety. Delay in project timeline may increase costs due to increased deterioration of infrastructure, potential bid increases, and increase in material and labor costs.
